Cruel and Usual Punishment: The Global Implications Of Sharia Law

I started doing some research into Sharia Law when I discovered the book titles, "Cruel and usual Punishment: The Global Implications of Sharia Law" by Nonie Darwish. Intrigued by the title I bought it and read it.

Ms. Darwish takes you into the world of Sharia Law and it's impact on the countries it governs. Based on her personal life experiences growing up under Sharia Law she pulls no punches. She tells about Sharia in explicit detail and the mental, spiritual and political effect it has on its citizens. It really opens your eyes to what exactly Sharia Law is. It's not just a law, it's a way of life for muslim citizens living in those countries governed by Sharia. Ms. Darwish goes into very detailed explanations of the various aspects of Sharia Law, including the schooling, the dress code, marriage, women and jihad to name several. It is a very enlightening and sobering look into a society whose every action is governed by Sharia and the clerics that rule. I would recommend it for a book club with a PG13 rating, as some of the content, although tastefully done, may be too much for a younger or less mature mind to absorb.

This is a must read for anyone who wants to educate themselves on Sharia Law and get a glimpse behind the scenes of life behind the curtain of Sharia. Especially the Western world.
